I have run one and played in one prior to this.<br /><br />However, this is the first time I am really trying to take Type IV on its terms. Much to my surprise I'm having a blast with it.

When the bug for that style/feel hits me, 13th Age has become my go-to system; it keeps all the stuff from 4E I loved while revamping it to handle the playstyle elements I like the most but which 4E jettisoned.Doctor Futurityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02586371999646337047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-46451050654966297852016-07-19T09:26:55.627-05:002016-07-19T09:26:55.627-05:00I was never the least bit tempted by 4e, since I c...I was never the least bit tempted by 4e, since I can't offer any suggestions to you.
